Round 7: Sydney Swans (62) def by Richmond (91), MCG
Horror start. MCG. Richmond. No Goodes.
The tigers ran rings around the swans, who had no answers. They took us on, and beat us comprehensively.
7 goals to 2, and they led by 32 at half time. The swans hit back hard to get back into the game, but the tigers responded and buried the swans at the MCG.
Kennedy's season has been inpirational and even he struggled under the force of the tigers game plan, but still managed 2 majors and 21 disposals.
Seaby was no match for the mullet man Maric. TDL made his season debut.

Round 8: Sydney Swans (138) def Melbourne (37), SCG
After 3 ordinary starts, it was the swans turn to hit the target 7 goals and a rushed behind to 3 points in the 1st qtr. Jack and Kennedy with a pair each.
Tommy Walsh made his debut for the Red and White with a 2 goal return. Scoring slowed in the 2nd term, but it was easy sailing and the swans romped home.
Parker, Kennedy, Jack and Jetta all kicked 3 goals. O'Keefe (34), Hannebery (33) and Jack (33) had the ball all to themselves. And under instructions from the coach they literally pounded the hapless Dees into the SCG turf with 82 tackles. Every player landed one.

Only 4 votes to Josh, but he still retains a 3 game lead.
Hanners is the big mover with 7 votes to jump into 2nd spot.
Jetta moves into outright 3rd, with Ted hot on his heels.
ROK gets his first votes for the year, after a slow start to the season following some injury set backs in the off season.
